The American Corporation In The Twenty-First Century: Future Forms Of Structure And Governance, Azizah Y. Al-Hibri
The American Corporation In The Twenty-First Century: Future Forms Of Structure And Governance, Azizah Y. Al-Hibri
Law Faculty Publications
This article focuses on corporate governance issues as they relate to the new technological developments and the issue of leapfrogging. I examine various theories about the new technologies and the changes in corporate governance that they may necessitate. I then assess and critique these theories in light of historical and other data. I suggest that our very concept of the corporation will be transformed by the Information Age. I also offer my own view as to the optimal forms of corporate governance that can equip American corporations with sufficient tools to win the accelerating competition anticipated for the next century. …

Toward Fairness In Compensation Of Management And Labor: Compensation Ratios, A Proposal For Disclosure, James A. Cotton
Northern Illinois University Law Review
This article will discuss the general history of executive compensation and the concept of "excessive compensation" as it has developed in corporate America. The article advocates a change in current SEC disclosure requirements which are set out in Appendix A of this article. The development of ratios as a tool of financial analysis is discussed to establish the legitimacy of their use. The author then offers an example of a stockholder proposal to make use of compensation ratios.
Asset Securitization And Corporate Risk Allocation, Christopher W. Frost
Asset Securitization And Corporate Risk Allocation, Christopher W. Frost
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
Asset securitization is a financial innovation in which corporations sell financial assets to a specially formed entity that in turn taps financial markets for the purchase price. The device provides firms an alternative to raising capital through traditional debt and equity markets. Practitioners of the approach tout securitization as a means through which a firm can lower its overall cost of capital by limiting the risk facing investors in the securitized assets. Commentators have described asset securitization as "one of the most important financing vehicles in the United States." Interest in the device is increasing dramatically as more companies see …

West Virginia Corporate Law: Is It "Broke"?, Debra R. Cohen
West Virginia Corporate Law: Is It "Broke"?, Debra R. Cohen
Journal Articles
We are all familiar with the cliche "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." The sentiment is as applicable to law as it is to the rest of life. When a law does what it is intended to do, legislators and courts should leave it alone. However, when a law no longer serves its intended purpose, it is "broke," and should be revised. The question is whether West Virginia's corporate law is "broke." In 1974, the West Virginia Legislature adopted the West Virginia Corporation Act (the "Act").' The Act brought then modem standards of corporate law to West Virginia. Since …

The Limited Liability Company And The Search For A Bright Line Between Corporations And Partnerships, Richard A. Booth Marbury Research Professor Of Law
The Limited Liability Company And The Search For A Bright Line Between Corporations And Partnerships, Richard A. Booth Marbury Research Professor Of Law
Faculty Scholarship
Despite the potential loss in tax revenue, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is making it easier and easier to avoid corporate taxes. Witness the advent of limited liability companies and the proposed "check-the-box" regulations. This article takes a look at the real distinctions between -- and policy supporting -- pass-through and entity level taxation and draws the conclusion that entity level taxation will probably become limited to publicly traded entities only.
"Magnificent Circularity" And The Churkendoose: Llc Members And Federal Employment Law, Daniel S. Kleinberger
"Magnificent Circularity" And The Churkendoose: Llc Members And Federal Employment Law, Daniel S. Kleinberger
Faculty Scholarship
This article seeks to explain under what circumstances federal employment statutes should apply to LLC members. Part I recounts the advent of LLCs and describes the essential characteristics of LLCs and their members. Part II explores how federal employment case law handles the employee vel non question and explains the problems in using that case law to determine whether LLC members are "employees" for federal employment law purposes. Part Ill attempts to make sense of that case law and proposes a rule for determining when a business owner can provide services to the business without becoming an "employee." Part IV …

A New Approach To Transnational Insolvencies, Robert K. Rasmussen
A New Approach To Transnational Insolvencies, Robert K. Rasmussen
Michigan Journal of International Law
Part I of this article sets forth the general problems associated with transnational bankruptcies. Part II then shows that, from an efficiency standpoint, the optimal solution would be to allow firms to select, at the time of incorporation, which set of bankruptcy rules will govern in the event of financial distress. Part III examines the transnational bankruptcy problem under the assumption that each nation will continue to dictate the content of its bankruptcy laws. The accepted wisdom is that under this assumption, the best solution to transnational insolvencies is for all countries to adopt a rule whereby the home jurisdiction …
